Chapter 015: Guess Right

The tide is higher and higher, and there are no more people standing on the beach. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Chili Po and Zhang retreated and retreated, and before they knew it, they retreated under the big tree where the rope was tied. At this time, Mu Lan's figure was long gone, and he could only see the rope stack getting smaller and smaller.

The waves rushed up again and again, and rolled down again, Zhang's heart was always in his throat, and after a while, he asked, "Is Mulan okay?"

When she asked, Pepper replied calmly, "It's okay." ”

Two quarters of an hour earlier, Mulan was close to the edge of the whirlpool. It's just that it took too much physical strength to go through the waves before, so I didn't dare to rush into the whirlpool in one go, so I had to stop and rest first.

The waves here fluctuate much more gently than near the coast, and the water level is much lower. Looking in all directions, it feels like you're in a hollow wall of water. The sun has not yet fully risen, the water temperature is very low, and as soon as it stops, the cold penetrates the skin and spreads deep inside.

Mulan stepped on the water and took out a small porcelain bottle from the small basket on her back, which contained fruit wine.

Aunt Hao is good tea, and Chili Po is good wine. There was no food on the island, so there was no decent wine, so we could only pick some wild fruits to make one or two jars of fruit wine. There is no degree, some slight wine taste, which can somewhat satisfy cravings.

Mulan drank this wine with Chili Po when she was a child, and at first she dipped the chopsticks in her mouth a little, replaced them with bamboo cups when they were larger, and replaced them with bowls when they were larger. She had a certain amount of alcohol in her previous life, and compared to the wine she had drunk before, this thing was like sweet water, and she couldn't get a little drunk after drinking three bowls or five bowls.

No matter how bad it is, it is wine, uncork the bottle and drink two sips, the stomach is warm, and the body is not as cold as before.

After resting for a while, move your hands and feet a little, and slowly swim in the direction of the whirlpool. After swimming about 2 to 300 meters, you can feel the current flowing in a counterclockwise direction. After swimming another two or three hundred meters, the current suddenly became turbulent.

Mulan didn't pay attention, she was almost swept away by the current, and hurriedly turned around and retreated. When I stepped on the water and stabilized my body, my heart sank little by little.

According to her guess, the higher the tide level, the smoother the whirlpool should be. However, when she tried before, she had not encountered the fierce current, could it be that she had guessed wrong?

Or is there a connection, but it's not as simple as she thinks?

She bit her lip, a little unwilling, and decided to try again.

This time, I was mentally prepared, and when I swam to the current, I no longer paddled according to my own mind, but followed the direction of the current and borrowed my strength to move forward. After swimming diagonally for about 200 meters, he suddenly broke away from the current and entered a very calm sea.

Warm currents swept through his fingertips, and the force of the current was very small, like the stream near the cave. After adjusting his direction towards the sun, he swam forward for a while, and encountered a few more currents, but they were far less turbulent than before. As long as you pay attention, you won't be too much of a threat.

Although there were some subtleties that were different from her detection, they generally confirmed her suspicions.

In this way, you can leave Shouzhen Island!

She couldn't contain her excitement, and flapped her hands on the water twice.

I wanted to swim a little further, but unfortunately the rope was tight. She was afraid that Chili Po and Zhang's would worry, so she stopped thinking. Looking at the sun and counting the time, he estimated that the tide was already ebbing outside, so he grabbed the rope and swam back.

The rope tensed for a moment, quickly deviated from its original direction, swept down a patch of bushes and grass, crushed the branches of several large trees, and finally cut a dent in the stone wall on the shore and stuck firmly. The tethered tree swayed and dropped its leaves.

Zhang was frightened by this series of movements, and grabbed Chili Po's arm, "It's bad, something happened to Mulan." ”

The pepper woman told her to scratch the pain, and grinned silently, her voice was still calm, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

Zhang shivered and pointed his finger over, "But the rope ......"

"It's definitely fine. "Chili Po does not move like a mountain.

Zhang was a lot relieved because of her words, but when he saw that the rope was loose and sometimes tight, occasionally shaking violently a few times, he was still so nervous that he was sweating. As soon as the tide receded, he couldn't wait to run to the beach, reaching out to pull the rope, trying to pull Mulan out of the sea.

The rope dangled with the waves, carrying her from side to side. His feet slipped, and he stumbled and sat on the beach.

"It's been a wasted effort. Pepper gave her a hand, still the same sentence, "It must be fine." ”

Zhang didn't care about slapping the wet sand on his body, and picked up his feet to look into the distance. It's a pity that you can't see anything but the white water.

Time seems to have frozen, and little by little it passes very slowly. The sun lazily climbed up to the eastern sky, sometimes hiding behind the clouds, sometimes hanging on the branches, pulling the figures of the two men into long and short shapes.

It seemed like a few years had passed, and at last a small black dot appeared on the surface of the sea, appearing and disappearing between the surging waves.

Zhang jumped up excitedly, "Look, is that Mulan?"

A faint smile flashed on Chili Po's lips, "It must be her." ”

Zhang couldn't wait any longer, and waved his hand vigorously at the black spot, "Mulan, Mulan......"

Mulan had already seen them, wiped her face, and swam towards this side at a faster speed. When he got close, he ignored the rope, and a fierce man plunged down and dived into the shallow sea with all his might. "Boom" came up, bringing up a huge wave.

"Mulan. Zhang ran over with the water and hugged her in his arms, "You girl, why did it take so long to come back?" ”

Mulan told her to be out of breath, and said in a thick voice: "Aunt Zhang, let go quickly, suffocate me." ”

Zhang hurriedly let go of his hand, grabbed her again, and asked anxiously, "Where is the injury?"

Mulan gasped twice before replying, "No, I'm fine, let's go up and talk about it." ”

Zhang deserved it, and helped each other to the shore, and was busy untying the rope around her waist.

Pepper Po was afraid of loosening halfway, so she wrapped it around her waist several times and tied a double dead knot. After being immersed in the sea for so many years, the knot is as strong as a stone, and how can it be untied with just one hand?

Seeing that Zhang was sweating profusely, Mulan hurriedly took out the knife and cut it little by little against the knot. Remove the rope and tear off the waist seal, and the delicate waist is unexpectedly red and purple, which looks shocking.

Zhang's heart was so distressed that he burst into tears, "What kind of crime do you say you have suffered?"

"It's scary to look at, but it doesn't hurt at all. Mulan twisted her waist with a smile, and was anxious to report the good news to them, "Pepper Po, Aunt Zhang, I guessed correctly, we have a way to leave here." ”
